Łukasz Gliński Are you sure you want to build this one? As someone wrote, the Aeroplast sprues' resemblance of the Harrier itself is purely coincidential

Alberto Michieletto Ahahah. I understand you very well and I realize this. But I paid less than 4 euros and for this price it's an excellent funny kit.
I'm thinking of moving the focus to the build of the AV-8A version, because I think the sprue is for this version and not for the B.

Treehugger I want to see this! Such an interesting subject, the Pilatus Turbo Porter I mean. I've built two of these, and also one computer model in 3D as well.

Whatever you do, don't put the nose weight in the floaters!!! I made that mistake.

Btw, a Pilatus Turbo Porter plane is briefly seen in the movie 'Sky Figthers', and also seen a lot in the movie 'Air America'.

wilky They were used by the Australian Army too but not the float version

Treehugger Yes, I built the Australian Army version and then I also built this seaplane version.
The decals for the Australian Army version isn't the best and were out of register, so maybe invest in aftermarket decals, probably worth it, given that this is such a nice subject.

The kit is fairly nice (but a little flawed requiring use of putty between two big halves), and also cheap, though some tweaks are required to get things looking nice around the engine cowling, and especially at the front air intake, to make it nice and round. Clear parts are so so if I recall correctly. There also exists photo etch for exterior, to some degree, don't remember what version.

Here's my Australian Army one (I tried to sand/buff the clear parts, but it didn't go too well, never done that before, not good at it):[img1]

Alberto Michieletto Thanks to all. Konrad I think the molds and details are not bad. unfortunately the rear landing Gear compartment is not at detailed. I tried to add something scratchbuild. The molds fit well with each other and many corrections with putty are not necessary.
